From half bottle at what I believe is Australia’s best Cantonese restaurant which is Flower Drum in Melbourne, and has been for 48 years. I had the Chefs banquet of 6 small courses. No notes on the wine but a quality producer from a quality terroir in the Macedon Ranges. Definitely cool climate and on the lean side. Great with food.

It makes me chuckle when they say "expensive French oak" but this wine smells high class,tastes clean, strong and beautiful. Gorgeous.

Great cool-climate Chard from one of my faves... Spot-on fruit/oak balance. Zing and complexity all rolled up.

From a warmer vintage, but still great acidity, nice balance and persistence.

Seems to be in a shy phase. Muted nose with faint hints of citrus and nougat; faintly reductive. Lime pith, stone fruit, wet stone and spice palate, a touch herbaceous. Not my favourite expression of Curly chardonnay. Maybe needs more time? Or less.

Jan 7th, 2023Not shy, this one. An upfront riot of aromas and flavour, with citrus, mandarin, nougat and oak influence with good weight and a luscious texture.
